At #HRC63, we’ll be looking at what implementation and accountability on the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll should look like five years on and what that could mean for advancing effective protection in Europe [the only regional human rights system that doesn’t legally protect this right, yet].

The 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council starts today in Geneva.

#HRC63 marks the 5⃣ years since the Council recognized the human right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll & the first session with a newly appointed @srtoxics.bsky.social.
